Pan-Fried Asparagus

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
2 Tbl olive oil
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed

Instructions

Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook garlic in butter for 1 minute but do not brown. Add asparagus and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning asparagus to ensure even cooking.
